Furthering the silly amount of material leaked from Microsoft's Spring Showcase are new Too Human (X360) screenshots that show the action-RPG's cooperative play.
As with the leaked Banjo Kazooie and Viva Pinata 2 screens, these shots recently began popping up on message boards and sites.
Much like Banjo Kazooie (X360), it seems that the first screenshots from a Viva Pinata sequel have begun circulating the 'net in advance of the Xbox 360 title's official unveiling.
Judging from the use of multiple player cursors, it seems the previously-unannounced followup to Rare's garden-building, pinata-breeding effort will add some sort of multiplayer component. The first Viva Pinata hit Xbox 360 in 2006 and PC in 2007.
As Microsoft is holding is Spring Showcase in San Francisco tomorrow, check back tomorrow morning for the official word on Viva Pinata 2 and the rest of the company's Xbox 360 lineup.
Neversoft's Guitar Hero IV (PS3, PS2, X360, Wii) will feature custom song creation and multiple instruments when it arrives this fall, according to the June issue of Game Informer magazine.
As relayed by trustworthy NeoGAF user SolidSnakeX, the fourth Guitar Hero title will expand the series' offerings to include drum and vocal gameplay in addition to bass and guitar. It is not known if the controllers for Harmonix's multi-instrument music title Rock Band will be compatible.
The song creation functionality will somehow allow users to customize everything but vocals, though the specifics of this remain unclear. Users will apparently be able to upload and share songs on all platforms, and will even be able to create their own album art.
Four bands have been confirmed thus far for the game--Van Halen, The Eagles, Linkin Park and Sublime--with Neversoft noting that all songs within the game will be master tracks provided by record labels.
In addition to song creation, Guitar Hero IV is said to place a strong emphasis on player and instrument customization, in part due to the recent legal troubles with guitar maker Gibson.
Electronic Arts has announced that it is developing a direct sequel to EA Black Box's skateboarding title Skate (PS3, X360), referred to as simply Skate 2, along with separate Wii and Nintendo DS entries titled Skate It.
The Wii and Nintendo DS iterations of the series (both pictured below) are due out later this year. The Nintendo DS version will use the portable's touch screen to control tricks.
Along with motion-sensitive controls that "mirror actual skate flips and moves," the Wii edition of Skate It will support the Wii Balance Board that comes packed with Wii Fit.
As for Skate 2, it was only revealed that the sequel is due on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.
Released last fall, Skate and its thumbstick-centered control scheme outsold the competing Tony Hawk game by a ratio of 2:1, prompting Activision to halt its annual Tony Hawk iterations and rework the series. EA had previously noted that it planned more Skate games.
Reversing today's trend of rumors and unofficial assets, publisher Atari has issued several flame-filled screenshots from Eden Studios' Alone in the Dark.
The reimagining of the classic survival horror franchise is set to hit PC, PlayStation 2, Xbox 360 and Wii on June 24, with a PlayStation 3 version following later this year.
- New Uzi Like Weapon - Ability to use enemies as meat shields - Brumack and Reaver Encounters early on in the game - Chainsaw duel - Backstabbing people with the chainsaw
Two supposed but rather legitimate-looking screenshots of Rare's upcoming Xbox 360 action-adventure title Banjo Kazooie began making rounds on the internet today.
Representing the first media of the game to arrive since its 2006 announcement trailer, the images provide an in-game glimpse of the first Banjo effort to hit a home console since the Nintendo 64 release of Banjo Tooie in 2000.
Rumors suggest the title, which is often referred to by series fans as Banjo Kazooie 3 or Banjo Threeie, will be compatible with the oft-rumored Wii Remote-esque Xbox 360 controller.
Given that Microsoft is set to show the title at its Spring Showcase event on Tuesday, it is likely that these assets are from the media that is set to be released that day.
Pandemic parent Electronic Arts quietly revealed earlier this year that Pandemic, famous for Mercenaries and Star Wars: Battlefront, was working on a LOTR title, but no details were revealed.
Pandemic revealed Thursday that the new LOTR game is subtitled Conquest and will be an action title for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, DS and PC.
The game will be set in J.R.R. Tolkien's LOTR universe as depicted by Peter Jackson's hit movies, thanks to EA's partnership with New Line Cinema.
This time around, gamers will be able to play both good and evil sides of the LOTR conflict.
Pandemic general manager Josh Resnick said that Conquest will give gamers "full control of the blade, bow and magic to fight ... epic battles any way they want – even if they choose to play from the evil side.”
Release for Conquest is slated for fall this year.
Coming this June for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Wii and Nintendo DS is Top Spin 3, the newest installment in 2K Sports' tennis game franchise. Here are new screenshots.
Wow, Call of Duty 5 is already playable? It's supposedly being created by Treyarch on the same engine that CoD4 was made on. Also, the setting would be on the Pacific in WWII.
The game will come out on the PS3, 360, DS, PC, and PS2 and Wii. What an immense number wouldn't you say? With that though, I don't think we can expect that much from the PS2 and Wii versions as with the PS3, 360 and PC versions.
So here's this new clip of Crash Bandicoot Mind Over Mutant.
When did he get a mohawk and tatoos? This game is going to be on the Wii. Sad Playstation owners? Doesn't look great to me, but hey, it might to you. Also on the DS, PSP, PS2 and 360. Headed out this Fall.
So, some stats, GTA IV has made over $500 million in the first week alone. They wold 6 million copies globally, and 3.6 million of those copies were sold on launch day.
Talk about beating Halo 3! Halo 3 only made $300 million in its first week. But to be fair, Halo 3 was only on the 360 while GTA IV was on the PS3 and 360 which undoubtably improved sales.
Publisher Capcom has released several new screenshots of Lost Planet: Extreme Condition Colonies Edition (PC, X360), a repackaging of the 2007 shooter with a number of additions to the game's multiplayer component, including new weapons, maps and modes.
Colonies includes three new single-player modes as well—score attack, boss rush, and off-limit—with off-limit featuring increased movement speed, more powerful weapons, and unlimited ammo.
